2:1
His ita gestis, postquam regis Assueri indignatio deferbuerat, recordatus est Vasthi, et quae fecisset, vel quae passa esset :
After these things, when the wrath of King Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
這事以後，亞哈隨魯王的忿怒止息，就想念瓦實提和她所行的，並怎樣降旨辦她。
2:2
dixeruntque pueri regis ac ministri ejus : Quaerantur regi puellae virgines ac speciosae,
Then the king’s servants who served him said, “Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king.
於是王的侍臣對王說：「不如為王尋找美貌的處女。
2:3
et mittantur qui considerent per universas provincias puellas speciosas et virgines : et adducant eas ad civitatem Susan, et tradant eas in domum feminarum sub manu Egei eunuchi, qui est praepositus et custos mulierum regiarum : et accipiant mundum muliebrem, et cetera ad usus necessaria.
Let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the beautiful young virgins to the citadel of Susa, to the women’s house, to the custody of Hegai the king’s eunuch, keeper of the women. Let cosmetics be given them;
王可以派官在國中的各省招聚美貌的處女到書珊城 的女院，交給掌管女子的太監希該，給她們當用的香品。
2:4
Et quaecumque inter omnes oculis regis placuerit, ipsa regnet pro Vasthi. Placuit sermo regi : et ita, ut suggesserant, jussit fieri.
and let the maiden who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti.” The thing pleased the king, and he did so.
王所喜愛的女子可以立為王后，代替瓦實提。」王以這事為美，就如此行。
2:5
Erat vir Judaeus in Susan civitate, vocabulo Mardochaeus filius Jair, filii Semei, filii Cis, de stirpe Jemini,
There was a certain Jew in the citadel of Susa whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,
書珊城有一個猶大人，名叫末底改，是便雅憫人基士的曾孫，示每的孫子，睚珥的兒子。
2:6
qui translatus fuerat de Jerusalem eo tempore quo Jechoniam regem Juda Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis transtulerat,
who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
從前巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒將猶大王耶哥尼雅 和百姓從耶路撒冷擄去，末底改也在其內。
2:7
qui fuit nutritius filiae fratris sui Edissae, quae altero nomine vocabatur Esther, et utrumque parentem amiserat : pulchra nimis, et decora facie. Mortuisque patre ejus ac matre, Mardochaeus sibi eam adoptavit in filiam.
He brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter; for she had neither father nor mother. The maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.
末底改撫養他叔叔的女兒哈大沙（後名以斯帖），因為她沒有父母。這女子又容貌俊美；她父母死了，末底改就收她為自己的女兒。
2:8
Cumque percrebruisset regis imperium, et juxta mandatum illius multae pulchrae virgines adducerentur Susan, et Egeo traderentur eunucho, Esther quoque inter ceteras puellas ei tradita est, ut servaretur in numero feminarum.
So, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together to the citadel of Susa, to the custody of Hegai, Esther was taken into the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
王的諭旨傳出，就招聚許多女子到書珊城，交給掌管女子的希該；以斯帖也送入王宮，交付希該。
2:9
Quae placuit ei, et invenit gratiam in conspectu illius. Et praecepit eunucho, ut acceleraret mundum muliebrem, et traderet ei partes suas, et septem puellas speciosissimas de domo regis, et tam ipsam quam pedissequas ejus ornaret atque excoleret.
The maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him. He quickly gave her cosmetics and her portions of food, and the seven choice maidens who were to be given her out of the king’s house. He moved her and her maidens to the best place in the women’s house.
希該喜悅以斯帖，就恩待她，急忙給她需用的香品和她所當得的分，又派所當得的七個宮女服事她，使她和她的宮女搬入女院上好的房屋。
2:10
Quae noluit indicare ei populum et patriam suam : Mardochaeus enim praeceperat ei, ut de hac re omnino reticeret :
Esther had not made known her people nor her relatives, because Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make it known.
以斯帖未曾將籍貫宗族告訴人，因為末底改囑咐她不可叫人知道。
2:11
qui deambulabat quotidie ante vestibulum domus, in qua electae virgines servabantur, curam agens salutis Esther, et scire volens quid ei accideret.
Mordecai walked every day in front of the court of the women’s house, to find out how Esther was doing, and what would become of her.
末底改天天在女院前邊行走，要知道以斯帖平安不平安，並後事如何。
2:12
Cum autem venisset tempus singularum per ordinem puellarum ut intrarent ad regem, expletis omnibus quae ad cultum muliebrem pertinebant, mensis duodecimus vertebatur : ita dumtaxat, ut sex mensibus oleo ungerentur myrrhino, et aliis sex quibusdam pigmentis et aromatibus uterentur.
Each young woman’s turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after her purification for twelve months (for so were the days of their purification accomplished, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet fragrances and with preparations for beautifying women).
眾女子照例先潔淨身體十二個月：六個月用沒藥油，六個月用香料和潔身之物。滿了日期，然後挨次進去見亞哈隨魯王。
2:13
Ingredientesque ad regem, quidquid postulassent ad ornatum pertinens, accipiebant : et ut eis placuerat, compositae de triclinio feminarum ad regis cubiculum transibant.
The young woman then came to the king like this: whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the women’s house to the king’s house.
女子進去見王是這樣：從女院到王宮的時候，凡她所要的都必給她。
2:14
Et quae intraverat vespere, egrediebatur mane, atque inde in secundas aedes deducebatur, quae sub manu Susagazi eunuchi erant, qui concubinis regis praesidebat : nec habebat potestatem ad regem ultra redeundi, nisi voluisset rex, et eam venire jussisset ex nomine.
In the evening she went, and on the next day she returned into the second women’s house, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch, who kept the concubines. She came in to the king no more, unless the king delighted in her, and she was called by name.
晚上進去，次日回到女子第二院，交給掌管妃嬪的太監沙甲；除非王喜愛她，再提名召她，就不再進去見王。
2:15
Evoluto autem tempore per ordinem, instabat dies quo Esther filia Abihail fratris Mardochaei, quam sibi adoptaverat in filiam, deberet intrare ad regem. Quae non quaesivit muliebrem cultum, sed quaecumque voluit Egeus eunuchus custos virginum, haec ei ad ornatum dedit. Erat enim formosa valde, et incredibili pulchritudine : omnium oculis gratiosa et amabilis videbatur.
Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s eunuch, the keeper of the women, advised. Esther obtained favor in the sight of all those who looked at her.
末底改叔叔亞比孩的女兒，就是末底改收為自己女兒的以斯帖，按次序當進去見王的時候，除了掌管女子的太監希該所派定給她的，她別無所求。凡看見以斯帖的都喜悅她。
2:16
Ducta est itaque ad cubiculum regis Assueri mense decimo, qui vocatur Tebeth, septimo anno regni ejus.
So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus into his royal house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
亞哈隨魯王第七年十月，就是提別月，以斯帖被引入宮見王。
2:17
Et adamavit eam rex plus quam omnes mulieres, habuitque gratiam et misericordiam coram eo super omnes mulieres : et posuit diadema regni in capite ejus, fecitque eam regnare in loco Vasthi.
The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
王愛以斯帖過於愛眾女，她在王眼前蒙寵愛比眾處女更甚。王就把王后的冠冕戴在她頭上，立她為王后，代替瓦實提。
2:18
Et jussit convivium praeparari permagnificum cunctis principibus et servis suis pro conjunctione et nuptiis Esther. Et dedit requiem universis provinciis, ac dona largitus est juxta magnificentiam principalem.
Then the king made a great feast for all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces, and gave gifts according to the king’s bounty.
王因以斯帖的緣故給眾首領和臣僕設擺大筵席，又豁免各省的租稅，並照王的厚意大頒賞賜。
2:19
Cumque secundo quaererentur virgines et congregarentur, Mardochaeus manebat ad januam regis :
When the virgins were gathered together the second time, Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate.
第二次招聚處女的時候，末底改坐在朝門。
2:20
necdum prodiderat Esther patriam et populum suum, juxta mandatum ejus. Quidquid enim ille praecipiebat, observabat Esther : et ita cuncta faciebat ut eo tempore solita erat, quo eam parvulam nutriebat.
Esther had not yet made known her relatives nor her people, as Mordecai had commanded her; for Esther obeyed Mordecai, like she did when she was brought up by him.
以斯帖照着末底改所囑咐的，還沒有將籍貫宗族告訴人；因為以斯帖遵*末底改的命，如撫養她的時候一樣。
2:21
Eo igitur tempore, quo Mardochaeus ad regis januam morabatur, irati sunt Bagathan et Thares duo eunuchi regis, qui janitores erant, et in primo palatii limine praesidebant : volueruntque insurgere in regem, et occidere eum.
In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate, two of the king’s eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, who were doorkeepers, were angry, and sought to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus.
當那時候，末底改坐在朝門，王的太監中有兩個守門的，辟探和提列，惱恨亞哈隨魯王，想要下手害他。
2:22
Quod Mardochaeum non latuit, statimque nuntiavit reginae Esther : et illa regi ex nomine Mardochaei, qui ad se rem detulerat.
This thing became known to Mordecai, who informed Esther the queen; and Esther informed the king in Mordecai’s name.
末底改知道了，就告訴王后以斯帖。以斯帖奉末底改的名，報告於王；
2:23
Quaesitum est, et inventum : et appensus est uterque eorum in patibulo. Mandatumque est historiis, et annalibus traditum coram rege.
When this matter was investigated, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the book of the chronicles in the king’s presence.
究察這事，果然是實，就把二人掛在木頭上，將這事在王面前寫於歷史上。
